Vigneault has the same problems Bylsma has; playoffs adjustments are his nemesis. So hell no on him. Ruff cannot get a team to the playoffs. Boucher will stifle the creativity out of the team, but that might be a good thing. Boughner is a newbie, but he has coached the spitfires to 2 championships and has been involved with canadian juniors with great success. So, yeah Tippett, King, etc. Torts would never happen. Used to be a Dale Hunter fan, when he was in london, but now that he had problems with the Caps I am off that soapbox. Geesh, the list could go on and on and on. Hartley, Carbonneau, Crawford....ad nauseum. Who do I like? does it really matter? I am not GMRS.

Ruff was employed by an organization who was on a budget more years than not. There's a reason he is on team Canada's coaching staff with the likes of Babcock, Julien, etc.

So your answer is yes, you don't understand the subtlety that is an assumption that The Pens should replace HCDB.

Let me spell it out for you.

He U-N-D-E-R-A-C-H-E-V-I-E-D meaning that he didn't live up to expectations. So there's an implication in the thread that the inevitable has occurred. That GMRS realizes that the team needs a change where the HC is concerned.

The rest of this thread is predicated on that simple fact.

You able to follow that?

Thank you for explaining to me what the thread is all about. I guess my initial response was too subtle for you.
